The Australian Innovation Community Wiki
Welcome to the Australian Innovation Community Wiki. A wiki is a web-based knowledgebase that makes it really easy to share information. Members can very simply add information and edit pages to correct inaccuracies. Here's some more information about wikis and how to use this wiki:
The AussieInnovation.com wiki is organised by categories and divided into two main areas.
The Review of the National Innovation System
The Federal Government has committed to fostering innovation across the economy, and announced a Review of the National Innovation System to be completed by July 2008. This section includes a range of resources related to the review.
The Panel
Biographies of the members of the expert panel conducting the review.
Submissions
This is where you can post and collaborate on past, present and future submissions. Keep in mind that others can learn from where you have been, as well as help with something you might have missed. (Guidelines are also available to help you get started.)
- Previous proposals
- It's important that we stand on the shoulders of giants. The Panel don't want to receive resubmissions, but the community can still learn from those thoughts, and meld them into new ideas. Please post your submissions to previous innovation reviews, including Research papers, Case Studies, Whitepapers, etc.
- 2008 submissions
- Submissions already given to the Panel, listed here for comments and so the wider community don't waste time making the same case.
- Current drafts
- If you're working on a submission, this wiki is a wonderful place to workshop it. The collaborative tools will help your team edit the document without clashing, and the community can pitch in and help if you invite them.
